The Cambridge Ancient History: Plates to Volumes 5 and 6

The Cambridge Ancient History: Plates to Volumes 5 and 6

J.J. Coulton
4.6/5 ( ratings)
This volume complements the publication of the second edition of The Cambridge Ancient History Volumes 5 and 6, which cover the history of Greece and associated areas between the Persian Wars and the death of Alexander the Great. It is also intended to be an independent account of the physical evidence for Greek culture in this period and deals, therefore, with some subjects barely discussed in the text volumes, as well as serving as an illustrated commentary on their main themes. Major sections are devoted to art and architecture. Other sections deal with subjects for which the archaeological evidence is particularly illuminating and where it supplements the record of ancient authors in important ways: these include consideration of the economy and trade, the social and civic life of Athens, religion, the theatre, warfare and coinage.
